OSX on sub notebook (MSI wind)

[dangel]

There is such thing as a lost cause..

[Flibb]

none of that was addressed to you.it was to the guy whos just bought a wind for this purpose and the one after him aswell that did the same...

At what point did I say I had purchased the wind just to instal OSX on it? Ive owned the advent since just after launch, and only through my membership of the wind forums did I find out that its capable of running OSX. Several times in this thread I have stated that I already owned the wind, and am dual booting it with XP.
So for the last time

I ALREADY OWNED AN ADVENT / MSI WIND BEFORE LOOKING AT RUNNING OSX.

the guy that did purchase it for this i was on about.who saw this thread and bought one etc

Ooh, must be me you're on about then

It's working brilliantly! If you fancy getting on yourself don't forget to use QuidCo to get some cash back. Good luck with it

[pauldarkside]

I won't reply to your specific complaints since your accusations and assumptions are getting a little tired.

If Apple had made an equivalent machine I'd have bought it instead - the closest we have right now is the MacBook. It was a choice between £280 for something sized according to my requirements or £700 which wasn't. Simple really.

The best I can offer Apple, at least until they have hardware I can use, is to support them with a purchased OS.

<snipped yet more insults, accusations and assumptions>

Until you can learn to be a little more polite and post without attacking people, I'll call this post the end to my participation in this thread.

your such a n00b to all this aren't you.
it is NOT possible to hack osx to run on x86 pc's WITHOUT a MAC...
you HAVE to do it within a mac. how many times.
thats why everyone that wants a hackintosh downloads a pirated pre-hacked version for their cpu (amd/intel variants)
so considering you can't afford the mac how did you manage to patch your so called legit version of osx... as the tools are all for use within osx as you can't read the files on windows.

This is pure and utter bull****, you can write a program to read and write *any* file on or from *any* platform, regardless of endianness or encoding.

[b0redom]

Please, stop feeding the troll....

[aidanjt]

How much, and where can I buy it from?

Clearly, your comment was in violation of the Troll Spray EULA (which is da law!).

[TheAnimus]

you obviously how know concept of running a hackintosh then.so why participate?
its a fact osx hackintosh install iso's are MADE within a MAC.
end of story.
all your downloading is a prepatched one made in a mac and downloaded from a torrent site in iso form.
prove me wrong then lets see some proof of actual license ownership...

as for the utter rubbish above. if it was that easy to patch the iso why would it be only done in osx then smartarse... do you really think the hackers want to make it hard for their consumers no they don't they want their distro to be more popular so if it was as simple as patch this in windows they would have made the mac patch tools for windows... considering the distro was to be run on a windows pc it makes sense doesn't it... so theirs obviously a reason why there only available to osx for building the iso...
unless anyone replying has done this or is running a hackintosh they won't have the faintest so why bother posting stupid remarks. I only reply because i have had multiple experiences with building a hackintosh. this was way back since 10.4 so its nothing new.

so stop jumping aboard the failbus of insults.

you such a fool.

ISO, is just a format, a standardised file format. You can use them on any platform that supports ISOs. As such you can read, modify and write them on any platform, you might not be able to execute them because of dependancies and the like. But its simple irrefutable proof your talking crap:
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/...a/i386/iso-cd/
I, like many others burn those, from windows machines.

We can always harvest his organs, i'm allowed to do that remeber as long as its beer money.

My God, are you suggesting that one can make an 'image' of a DVD without OSX? Surely not.
Next you'll be telling me you can verify it matches another image via a checksum value or even apply a ppf patch on any operating system. Crazy talk like that will get you sectioned pal..

[aidanjt]

but the fact is all the files needed to be accessed and modified etc have to be accessed/modified within OS X itself...

Why are you lying?

[TheAnimus]

surely it'd be A LOT easier yes to be able to extract the OS X disc etc and modify it for x86 windows pc's within windows itself... ofcourse it would but the fact is all the files needed to be accessed and modified etc have to be accessed/modified within OS X itself...

My contradiction detector is going off the scale.

and the fact NO-ONE has a clue means that your all BLATANTLY using a pirated pre-compiled distro from the net...

yup, because we all know i like OSX, and i don't regard it as going to a street prostitute, and getting some dirty desised version (of BSD), when you can get the pure on, FREE (as in FREE, FREE not just 0 cost).

[dangel]

Why are you lying?

He can only be lying if he doesn't believe he's right. I get the distinct impression that isn't the case - sadly.

[aidanjt]

the fact is all the patches and modified versions of os x have been compiled within OS X and not windows.

GCC can cross-compile darwin binaries from practically any CHOST, including CYGWIN and MinGW enviornments.

like i said above don't you think if they'd been able to do it in windows they would.

They can and do, depending on who you ask and how well you know them. Or how much you know yourself.

Just because it isn't convient, obvious, and straight forward to the average user, it doesn't mean it's impossible.

careful, you don't want to give the impression you know anything about compiling code, he'll start calling you illegal again!

keef247, I've been programming for over 18 years now, on a mixture of platforms (BBC,Acorn,PIC,Atmel,Win,POSIX environments (there all damn different)). You clearly have no idea how you go about modifing code. When i was an anoying little 13 year old, i first learnt the techinque of binary patching. Guess what we used to do this? A Hex Editor and a Dissambler!

Now I've used these tools on a win laptop, to hack everyday household appliancies firmware. Totally different hardware, having patches made from windows. Obviously i wouldn't know what i'm talking about.

At uni, because computer science was a total peice of piss, and the engineering stuff turned out to be quite hard, i did some law modules. Guess what we covered? EULAs where quite a heavy part of it as the lecturer, was a mathemetition who crossed over towards law. But again, i must have no idea what i'm talking about.

So go on, whip out your credentials.
